Importance of Goal Setting
Something I have found over the last 3 1/2 years here in LA is that it is crucial to set goals for yourself that have nothing to do with your career or money. I have spent far too much time focusing all of my energy being convinced I could only really be happy once I had huge acting success. Which obviously led me to a lot of depression and frustration as this is a career that takes time and patience.
The year of 2011 was a really tough one for both Gabe and I. We were forced to take a year off from acting in order to work full time jobs and get our feet underneath us financially. During this time we decided to really change our bodies into what we wanted them to be. Gabe was looking to bulk up a lot more muscle, and I was looking to lean out and put on some more muscle as well. We started eating entirely clean foods and researching all sorts of everything having to do with health and fitness. Thus the creation of our blog gahealthguide.wordpress.com
A goal I set for myself physically was to deadlift 225 lbs. I started 2012 deadlifting around 70 lbs, and as of 1/1/13 I successfully complete 1x5 at 200 lbs! This means that my 1 Rep Max is 225 lbs! This makes me feel powerful and successful! I may not be able to control what size of clothing I wear but I can control my body, my muscles, and my mind.
We can achieve anything we are determined to. If we are willing to push through all obstacles and adversity, be patient, and find happiness in what we already have then we will most certainly win!
